Mini for Me
On Friday there was a gentle knock at the door just before 9pm. I generally don’t answer the door after tea time unless I’m expecting someone. We had G&Ts and the game Ticket To Ride all over the floor and guessed it was probably some election canvassing so we didn’t answer (and restrained Hank who was very curious and knocked several playing pieces off the board).
A few seconds later there was a shuffly sound, followed by another, followed by another….
It turns out my UK mini swap mini quilt was being hand delivered by Louise!
I had shut off from Instagram for the evening so I hadn’t seen the build up from our swap mama Nina that someone was going to get a delivery this evening, nor had I seen Louise getting closer and closer…

Don’t worry, she was in the area for other reasons and didn’t travel a third of the way across the UK just to deliver a package to the idiot who didn’t even open the door.
Sadly yes, I do still need to Hankproof the bin by hanging it on the wall
So anyway I got a very lovely mini in jewel-ish colors and my favourite, blenders, which is now hanging on the wall. I had to take pictures down to accommodate it, I’m running out of room so I am now on a second wall of minis. The dogs were happy as there were some treats for them and the Rolos made a nice Sunday night treat. Plus I got Paperchase goodies too which are already being put to use, lucky, lucky me!

At our house, things are Silas-proofed, so I can relate to your elevated trash bin. Silas loves to dumpster dive, and also thinks anything being recycled should be rescued and returned to us. (I think he has semi-secret hoarding tendencies and is really thinking, “Are you sure you want to throw this away? Keep it, keep it!”) Like Hank, it’s a good thing he is so cute.

I wouldn’t have expected a delivery at that time of night either. At least it was a lovely mini quilt and not an election person. x

I know I should be commenting on the point of this post (lovely mini!) but can I just say YAY! Ticket to Ride is a brill game!! Althpugh my favourite (this week) is Camel Cup.

how do you mount stuff on your wall? Like the reels of thread and the minis?

So did you let her in at the end or did she just put it under the door?

What a lovely surprise! I hope someone else gave her a cup of tea!

It’s a gorgeous mini – far better than an election canvasser!

Love the IG build up – great fun and your walls are looking fab – even the bin!
